Sybase code and forked it into MS SQL Server, but both databases
continued. Sybase continued as "Sybase" for years after the
fork, and still exists as a separate database called SAP
Adaptive Server Enterprise. The difference is that Postgres got
a SQL front end and was renamed Postgres95, and then PostgreSQL
to reflect the change, but it was one project continuing on a
direct path. I'd say it's more like calling "Red Hat Enterprise
Linux" just "Red Hat." </extra-pedantic> :-P<br>

Just remember that saying "Postgres" when you mean
"PostgreSQL" is a lot <br>
like referring to "Microsoft SQL Server" as "Sybase."
